1. The Japanese are smart...
(02.15.12)
They know Israel will disappear with a strike on Iran...
2. You can't go to the table and talk peace ....
Galut ia ,   SELAH   (02.15.12)
....When the other Guy gos there with a dagger with the intent to kill... before WW2 Chaberlin of england found out the Hard way when he went to Germany to talk peace ...and came back with a piece of paper and declared "peace in our time" ...only to see Germany take large portians of europe by force... simply Iran is dedicated to Israels demise and compromise is not in thier volcabulary...
3. japan and israel
joel ,   usa   (02.15.12)
japan is just promoting its own need of oil which mainly come from Iran, ok, self preservation is japan's motive, ok?
4. Good advice???
Josh McCoward ,   Tor Canada   (02.15.12)
Sure! Take Japan's advice concerning a country that is threatening to completely wipe you off the map. One wonders what Japan would do? Sounds something similar to Chambers when he came back after his meeting with Hitler. No threat from Germany would be his cry. Several weeks later, he was crying, literally. Israel has to put the Japanese on ignore.
5. If Japan waxed compassionate for Israel , I would be more
Moshe ,   Usa   (02.15.12)
sympathetic for their opinion. So then, who cares for the opinion of Japan anyways.
6. Noda WARNED Barrak?
Israeli 2   (02.15.12)
Noda should warn Ahmedinijad if he is really concerned about the region. I know it is all about oil.
7. Self-serving Japanese
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (02.15.12)
They just want to keep the oil flowing. Of course, never mind the fact that the disaster at Fukushima polluted the Pacific Ocean and released almost as much radiation into the atmosphere as did Chernobyl -- they care only about themselves. Who cares what the Japanese think, anyway?
8. europe, japan, tony blair
alexi   (02.15.12)
EU ashton, japan, tony blair, the swedes and norweiganss, the belgians, they all tell israel to exercise restraint which is code for yellow gutless coward. tell ing barak this is redundant since he is father of all appeasers in a general's uniform. Israel has to do its own bidding. No one will do it for israel.
9. japan
buffalobill ,   U.S.A.   (02.15.12)
You beat me to it Sara Go Girl
10. Japan now insignificant
sk ,   USA   (02.15.12)
Japan is past its heyday, its economy stinks, it has allowed S. Korea and China overtake its manufacturing ... Japan has made a lot of mistakes and it should realize it makes no sense any more economically or politically.
11. #7
Jonathan ,   MN/US   (02.16.12)
That happened because of an EARTHQUAKE Sarah. As for your quip of "who cares what the Japanese think" I do and I agree with them.
12. What's many years of restraint and diplomatic patience done?
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, USA   (02.16.12)
Absolutely nothing. Most of the world would rather do nothing while Iran builds up its military and advances its nuclear project. The time for patience is past.
13. Japanese advice to Ehud Barak
Henry Alcantara ,   Cavite, Philippines   (02.16.12)
Violence and war are inevitable between Jews and Muslims with Russian assistance. WW3 is inevitable going by the state of anti-Christ and anti-God policies of world leaders. The only question left is 'when' and my answer is "very soon".
14. #7 Jonathan
Sarah B ,   U.S.A./ Israel   (02.16.12)
Eff you Jonathan and eff the Japanese too....
15. So much for Sushi. Stick to bagels & home cooking.
Bernie ,   Erehwon, USA   (02.16.12)
16. Once upon the time,....Japan
Armand ,   Los Angeles, USA   (02.16.12)
Who the hell is Japan to give advice on how Israel and the Jews should behave. Japan has Blood in its soul,...see her history.... To # 7, 8, 10 & 12...you are dead on! The hell with the Japanese points of view,..it is a has been and at one time was Hitler's ally. South Korea and China have rendered Japan OBSOLETE and FUKUSHIMA set them back into oblivion.
17. #7 and #9 ??!!
Frank-el ,   Seattle USA   (02.16.12)
You are flat out incorrect: the radiation releases from Fukushima and Chernobyl are vastly different (former 5% of latter). I won't bother educating you - go look it up. Do you just make this stuff up? And don't forgot those are good ole' General Electric reactor designs, not Japanese. Also, why don't you people look past your noses? The Japanese are still the only people in the world to have been bombed with nuclear weapons. You should actually listen to them or do you have a trademark on suffering? The Japanese should care about oil since they have none. They don't want to freeze anymore than you do. Or maybe more nukes since you think the don't deserve oil? Actually, any country where oil is part of the national interest (see USA) should care. Japan made a comitment to reduce Iranian oil imports and in return is asking Israel not to act like a rabid dog...sounds reasonable yet you still mock them! And take a lesson from the Japanese and learn some humility.
18. I'll say Mr.Nod. mind your gas
Maxim ,   ISRAELOAMERICAN   (02.16.12)
And don't stick your nose in Israel's derriere. In other words, mind your own business, arigato and sayonara.
19. A blood thirsty mob? NO only Oil crazed
Yossi   (02.16.12)
Alexi # 8, you are right. Ashton, Japan, Tony Blair, Scandinavia, most of Europe, the fu---ing arabs, the Clintons,Obama, don't give a sh--t about the Jews, Israel or Jerusalem; their only " raison d'etre " is Oil, if mixed with some Jewish blood, the better -- it probably would raise it's ' octane ' content a couple of points.
20. Ah so deska...On yer bike, Noddy
Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (02.16.12)
21. The Japs Care Only About Their Oil Supply...
Dan ,   USA   (02.16.12)
and not one bit about the survival of Israel.
22. # 11 ...and ?
Lee ,   USA   (02.16.12)
Welcome Jonathan from Minnesota, the state with the largest number of Muslims in the USA. Far be it from me to ever defend Sarah B., but I'm certain she new the disaster was caused by an earthquake, so what was your point?
23. Oil/economy/comfort is above long term global security
Yaniv ,   Israel   (02.16.12)
24. Japan "warning" to Jewish State
Zvi ,   Los Angeles. USA   (02.16.12)
Talk about chutzpah. The heirs to the legacy of the criminal attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 "warn" the besieged Jewish State to not defend itself!! Why don't the Japanese warn Iran to desist it's plot to murder the Jewish State? Would they lift a finger to save us? No. I hope Ehud ignores the Japanese.
25. TO # 17 Frank-el Seattle
Armand ,   Los Angeles, USA   (02.16.12)
I read your long monologue and kept truly LOL! So for the sake of OIL and not causing inconveniences to the likes OF YOU,...Israel should risk an existential threat? You are a dangerous mind and a rabid Jew hater,..it transpires from your post. Do you really think that Israel or the Jews would allow another POGROM or Holocaust to happen? After 2700 years of being at the mercy of mad dogs like you we Jews are able to defend ourselves ''humility'' or not. NEVER AGAIN with the means to enforce it!
26. Japan has no right to preach - turn off the hose
Lemmings Hotline ,   sd usa   (02.16.12)
27. The post at No. 14 is not mine
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (02.16.12)
Not even a credible fake.
28. To: No. 11
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (02.16.12)
Yes, because it is SO incredibly responsible to build a nuclear reactor on one of the most dangerous fault lines on the planet. I'm glad you agree with the Japanese. What does that say about you? That you, too, are prepared to be completely irresponsible because it serves your fiscal interests and energy interests? Why not have that tattooed on your forehead? Well, too long, I guess. You could just shorten it to "Scoundrel."
29. To: Lee at No. 22
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (02.16.12)
Actually, I knew it. Nothing new there. With your linguistic skills, Lee, please don't EVER defend me. Not that I need it, particularly from the functionally illiterate.
30. To: No. 17
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (02.16.12)
The radiation released from Chernobyl did not pollute the world's largest ocean. Go look it up. I think Iran is the rabid dog here. What kind of a country threatens to wipe another country off the map? You're not much of an American, either, if you support Iran. If you agree with the Iranian regime that the United States is the "Great Satan," shouldn't you move to Iran? You know .... get thee behind me, Satan. Or do you lack the courage to stand for your convictions? The total estimated civilian deaths in Japan during World War II number about 580,000. How does that compare with six million Jews? And the Jewish people never bombed anyone, and they certainly never built concentration camps. Can you spell "Pearl Harbor?" How about "Rape of Nanking?" How about "Bataan Death March?" You are a fool.
